Ganus said he couldn't remember the exact year that the seminar was started, but he knew it was "a long time ago." Ganus was the seminar director until 1965, when he became president of Harding. Dr. Ray Mun­ cy, chairman of the history and social science department, currently serves as the director of the social science seminar. The original purpose for the seminar was to provide a broader perspective for history and social science majors, according to Ganus. This purpose has continued to the present. The only changes have been in con­ tent, emphasis and personnel, Ganus said. Twelve students are enrolled in the seminar this semester. Majors represented are history, political science, social science, and American studies. The seminar meets for two hours every Monday night. Absences are allowed only for extreme sickness or emergency. Muncy said that he felt the seminar was the best preparation students could have for graduate school. "In fact, it is conducted like a graduate seminar in that they (the students) have to establish theses and de­ fend their papers publicly,'' Muncy said. The topic of this semester's seminar is "Ethics." Topics of past years included ter­ rorism, nuclear arms, energy, civil and women's rights, and world hunger. The class is divided into history, political science and social science sections for the purpose of writing a research paper. Students' majors do not necessarily have to correspond to the section which they're assigned. For instance, Juliet Gifford, a senior political science major from Dallas, Texas, is working with the sociology group. Their 1516 E.
